I will ask my friend who did the conversion of mine from a V8 to a 2.5, so i guess its just a reverse you want to do!
 
It was being used on a farm for a bit of its life so red diesel was cheap and available.

It had been a police car, so it had done about 130,000miles and a trashed 130,000 at that. A brand new 2.5 was aquired which was actully a version of the 19J used in taxis and sherpa vans (15J), the difference being that the water pump is in a different location, and a simple tin cover reveals the timing belt which can be changed in 45minutes, idea for taxis which require this more than usual diesels.

So there we have it, the story behind what is now my 90.

I am currently waiting a reply from the email I sent, it should come through very soon, when it does, and I get it I will paste all relevant information in here.
 
ok here you go "Probably not a lot needs done to anything, but he needs to sort out wiring for the coil, and fuel lines. Other than that it is more or
less a "one out - one in" sort of job."
 
yeah well ifs there anyone to ask then the guy I asked is, as I said he did it, so there you go. You going to get a V8 that would come with a stock LR? What are you doing with the 2.5?
